[Phono-L] Columbia BKT 2/4 Gearing Info Needed
I recently purchased a Columbia BKT, which the previous owner said had an issue in 2 minute mode. What I discovered is that it has an issue in both 2 4 minute mode. In 4 min mode it starts out playing correctly, but by 1/3rd of the way through, it starts to skip a groove or two. I hadn't tried it in 2 min mode, until yesterday. When shifted into two minute mode, it does something completely strange... it runs the feedscrew backwards. Has anyone ever experienced this issue? I believe that someone has tried to adjust the 2/4 minute gearing and maybe disassembled it, then put something in backward... Is this possible? Does anyone have a picture or diagram of the correct configuration of the gearing? Thanks for any help... Curt ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org

There are some pics of the gears on a BO machine here : http://forum.talkingmachine.info/viewtopic.php?f=2t=16088... I believe they would be the same on a BKT. I will check my 2/4 BK to be sure . - Original Message - From: Vinyl Visions vinyl.visi...@live.com To: phono-l@oldcrank.org Sent: Friday, March 14, 2014 2:37 PM Subject: [Phono-L] Columbia BKT 2/4 Gearing Info Needed |I recently purchased a Columbia BKT, which the previous owner said had an issue in 2 minute mode.

Thanks, Dan. I found those pics just a few minutes ago on that forum. The issue seems to be what position those two little gears should be in. Don't disassemble your machine to find out, as you may run into the same issue... If you can see what the correct positions seems to be, I would love to know.
